Calling Alumni to Host a GIC Gathering!

Gatherings Across the Globe

Make new memories with old friends as the Greenfield Intercultural Center commemorates its 25th Anniversary with Gatherings across the Globe! For more than two decades, the GIC has been a source of support and education for Penn's diverse student body. Take the celebrations off campus and join other alumni and friends from across the globe in hosting a gathering in your community. No matter where you live and no matter what your style, hosting a GIC 25th anniversary gathering is a wonderful way to give back to a place that gave so much to us during your time at Penn.

If you are interested in hosting a GIC 25th anniversary gathering, please e-mail gic25thparties@gmail.com for more information and to receive our official anniversary planning guide.
